[Q] So I have some terrible battery life

So,
It is currently 9:13 am, and I took my phone off the charger at 6:45 am. And I am at 81%, and I am fed up. I have stamina mode on, and low battery mode. And, I HAVE NOT BEEN USING MY PHONE. I just don't get it, why it drains in my pocket. Says screen is at 44% taking of battery. I have used WLD and nothing is wrong. I can hope you guys can help me out, or at least 4.3 and 4.4 will help!

I Know..Experienced It Solved It!

Simple Bro! Go To Eco Mode Controller In Apps And Clear Data And Reboot! Done!
Happens Due To Error Calibration Of Stamina Mode Due To OverCharge

The only thing clearing Eco Mode controller helps with is resetting stamina mode estimate, it doesn't fix battery life.
I had(have) same problem as you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511392

Google Play Service is the cause of it.
If you download wakelock detector or BBS you will see GTALK_CONN as a waker. The cause is unknown and solution aswel.
Ive disabled everything from Google besides play store.

Biggest problem is Google Services, especially with the nlpwakelock, nlpcollector, and gtalk_conn wakelocks that's draining the battery on standby when connected to WiFi.

Disabling those improved your battery life ?
And one more question I would like to ask, I've heard that disabling Bravia Engine 2 improves battery time a lot, is it true ? frankly Its very hard to tell the difference when it's on and off, do you guys see a noticeable difference ?
And what other stuff can I do to save battery ? Thanks!

Yes disabling the google stuff helps to save battery because those apps keep running in the backround.
And bravia engine 2 enabled wont drain battery...and yes we can see a noticeable difference..the colours are more bright and vibrant in pictures and videos when be2 enabled

if I disable for example facebook app or Google plus or google search, the system won't try to start them again ? and eat more battery in the process, what is the cause that those app are constantly running in the background ?

Use Lightning Browser, (on Playstore)
it is the Fastest Webkit based (Stock like) browser, supports flash, and you can set it to hide toolbar & notification bar.

[GUIDE] Fixing massive battery drain on 4.4.2 (requires root/custom recovery)

The 4.4.2 update brings a rather annoying bug in the Google location service. That's the thing that's used in things like Google Now, Google +, but also the weather widget and such. In previous versions of the system, this used to just wake the device in a configurable time interval, check current location and go to sleep again.
In 4.4.2, this service keeps a nonstop wakelock, updating your location every single moment. There's no setting to make it less aggressive. You can disable the location service in settings completely, but for me even this didn't work and it also disabled all location-dependent features of multiple apps and widgets.
Here's what I did to get rid of this absurd battery drain:
install Xposed if you haven't already (this step requires root or a custom recovery)
install Wakelock Terminator and enable it in Xposed
look for Google Play services in the list of apps and enable “Prevent Wake Lock” for this app
tap on “Filter Wake Lock” and enter the following text in the pop-up:
Code:
NlpCollectorWakeLock NlpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator
finally, reboot your phone
Wakelock Terminator lets you filter the wakelocks of a single app for free; if you want to limit the wakelocks of multiple apps, you'll have to make an in-app purchase.
There are other ways to get rid of the wakelock. You can freeze the offending app using Titanium. You can use the Per App Hacking Xposed module to completely disable all wakelocks for Google Play Services. Both of these, however, will break a lot of apps, including the market. Wakelock Terminator is the only Xposed module I found that lets you select which specific wakelocks to disable and which ones to allow and this is rather crucial, since the app uses other wakelocks that you don't want to disable.
There's also Greenify, you might want to check that out as well. However, greenify doesn't let you decide which aspects of an app to block and which ones to allow either. It just forces the app to freeze as soon as you don't have it in the foreground, which, in this case, means it blocks the app all the time (Google Play Services only provides background services as far as I know).

Thank you, I was planning to go back to 4.3 or even 4.2.2 cuz I have been barely getting a day when i used to get a good 2 with my use. I'll try it tonight

Is this guide for rooted phones only?

Exactly the same situation here. I used to get two days with a generous reserve (although not enough to last a third day) and was down to barely a single day with 4.4.2. This fix has made the mileage sgnificantly better on 4.4.2, although I think there's still some room for improvement.

Yes, unfortunately. You need either root or a custom recovery to install Xposed. I'll update the OP.

Thanks much appreciated

NlpCollectorWakeLock & NlpWakeLock are still at the two top places of Wakelockers

No idea. This got rid of them for me completely. Are you sure you haven't made a typo?
At any rate, Google Play services is still the top battery hog on my phone, keeping wakelocks for about 30% of time, which is still a lot. The culprits are Checkin Service and Event Log Service, I'll try to find out more about them to see if I can safely blacklist those as well.

AFAIK, NlpCollectorWakeLock stands for Network location picker - it can be connected either with Google services (have to clear all data from gapps and google framework) or if the option of automatic wi-fi searching by google apps is enabled.

i am using the sixth sense rom right now
and there is a AppOps thing in settings
is it the same way as this guide does
if i just deny the the keep awake option for google play services?

No idea. I guess it won't do exactly what you want, if you disable wakelocks for the whole Google Play services app, you won't get notifications from apps like gmail, hangouts, the market etc. Also, it depends on how it blocks the wakelocks – whether it raises an exceptions or simply silently ignores the request. In the former case, you'll be getting force closes from all apps using Google Play services all the time, in the latter case, it would work, but probably too aggressively.
Anyway, just try and see for yourself. It might work, it might not.

Has anyone tried a soft reset?
Seems to have worked for my stock unrooted Butterfly S.
Battery seems to be better than before the update.
Very relieved.

So far no change in battery life for me, think it's time to go back to 4.2 or maybe viper 4.3 it was worth a shot though. Thanks for trying

YMMV, of course. Before following this guide, I recommend checking that Google Play services is indeed the culprit and that it is caused by the same wakelocks. It did improve things a lot for me, although not to the same efficiency as 4.3 or 4.2.

I haven't root my bs uet, but after turning off the stupid [OK Google] hotword detection, the battery will be a lot better
The setting is under Google Voice Search, if you don't see this setting, change your language to English (US)

Mine not rooted but this way works for me....I charged it full and plug it out, turn off my phone,
I wake up turn my phone on...and my battery suddenly became sooo much better.

you know, i can never seem to tell what is really using up power, i've tried some apps but they didn't work well, the system one in the power settings is very vague and doesn't make sense. what do you or others use? anything reliable and trust worthy?
I haven't had time to downgrade, but too busy. I flashed the only custom kernel we have and i'm underclocked to 1024 and powersaver as the governor and still not making it past 10 hours. so sad

I've been using the GSam battery monitor app and it appears to work quite well. However, on 4.4, none of the apps in market are likely to work out of the box, for example, GSam requires you to install and use their root companion app to give any meaningful results. Alternately, you can try some of the Xposed modules that make access to the battery stats possible.

Weird auto disabling app issue

Keep having this problem...it just keep auto disabling random apps from time to time.....it's killing me. I enable it...than it got disable some time down the road.
From the attachment...u can see Snapseed and Google pay is being disabled
And Google clock alarm doesn't work despite repeated test....
Can someone advice

are you sure you have not turned on the Eco Mode ? it disables apps to save battery

Use app without installing, it is a feature from Google, not a bug. You choose on playstore to have that

Question Closing background apps

I'm having major issues with the S21 ultra (i even have the 512GB/16GB ram). For example, apps like whatsapp sometimes do not receive any message until i open the app. Ive checked all the options not to optimize it or restrict background data etc, but the issue is still the same.
I had before honor 10 with 4gb ram and NEVER faced this problem

Also tried that and didn't have any effect.

Try disabling all power management. To check to see if you did get all the settings go to Developer Options>Standby apps, all buckets will show as active and their state can not be altered if power management is disabled.
Android can manage fine without it. For battery issues find the apks causing it and deal directly with them.
Clear system cache on the boot menu.
As for Whatsapp, I keep it disabled at all times, no likey, #10.
Power management, destroyer of worlds

it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...

I've had the delayed notifications problem with my Note 20 Ultra and now again with the S21 Ultra.
Some apps like the Ring Alarm come in instantly but others like eBay, PayPal ETC do not.
I have tried everything under the sun to get instant notifications to no avail.
Sure wish there was an easy fix for this problem.

In my opinion the devicemanager app isnt working properly... On my friends s20 when you end an app via taskmanager its really off when the app is in "deep standbye" on my s21 ultra its not... Think the device manager need some Updates...

Lol, it never worked properly.
Try disabling all power management. May or may not help. It created conflicts on my 10+ that ate battery and caused erratic behavior.
I simple close all apps at the end of the day.
Cloud apps may run even in deep standby mode and suck battery. Google system apks are prime suspects.

Change for the sank of change isn't improvement.
Since Pie Android has been backsliding bad.

It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.

So out of "Optimize battery usage" or "Never sleeping apps" which is the better one to select?
You can only select one or the other but not both.

Do not use power management, it's a cluster F.
Android can take care of itself nicely if you correct the root causes for the excess battery usage.
Simply closing out apps like Brave with task manager after you're done with it is sometimes all that's needed.

I think it'll be safe, if it's current usage is only for locating stuff/file transfer then it will turn on when needed. It shouldn't be holding your phone awake for 12 hours...

Sounds good thanks man. I actually removed allow background services. I initially blocked it, but then allowed it so it's a default. Today there is no battery drain at all. I wonder if it'll come back after a reset. If it does, I'll just disable the app.

there is a reddit post for this too,
so this came AFTER i installed the galaxy labs app and the culprit seems to be memory manage app (i dont know the name) UWB was draining almost half of my battery every day and i thought it belonged to my newly shipped galaxy buds pro but NOPE it was a app bug so i unistalled every galaxy lab/agent and module , then went to setting>apps>show system apps> force stop both UWB apps and also did force stop google play services too for some reason ( i hate it) then it got all FIXED !
also got the best battery life after that for 8hrs of SOT for 64%of usage in 16hrs of battery life...which was CRAZY ... but now im back to 4hrs of SOT in 50% of usage which is normal...
i dont charge my battery to 100% so i charge from 20% to 85% that's why i can't share my full battery usage
do those and you'll see the difference in an instant

After I uninstalled Memory Guardian and Good Labs, it was no longer running in the background constantly after I did a reboot. Now my battery use is back to normal.

I uninstalled Galaxy labs and all in it ( memory guardian..), force stopped UwbApplication, allowe background activity uncheck. But it still drains battery in background. Does anybody find solution?

yes i unistall all related to Uwb app too , back to my post i used an app i linked to do that .

I tried uninstalling Labs, Memory Guardian and all associated apps...didn't work. UWB application and UWB test still ran constantly sucking up battery. Tried force stopping play services and those apps but nada. Then I tried a package disabler for those and it STILL RAN in the background! The ADB solution above worked and rather painlessly. It's either that or a factory reset so...try ADB it saved my device

It seems this app is specific to some region I believe. I don't have it in the XSG -AUB9 version.
